| - | The twister ribozyme displays nucleolytic ribozyme activity both in vitro and in vivo and has one of the fastest catalytic rates of naturally occurring ribozymes with similar function. The twister ribozyme appears to follow a SN2 mechanism for phosphodiester cleavage producing a 2',3'-cyclic phosphate and 5' hydroxyl product. Twister ribozyme produces catalytic activity by orienting the P O bond that is to be cleaved for nucleophilic attack in the active site. The ribozyme follows general acid-base catalysis which has been supported through experimental and modeling evidence. The reaction rate is dependent on temperature and pH as well as Mg2+ ions but they are not essential to the overall reaction. <scene name='82/824632/Twister_ribozyme_structure/1'>Cheyenne</scene | + | The twister ribozyme displays nucleolytic ribozyme activity both in vitro and in vivo and has one of the fastest catalytic rates of naturally occurring ribozymes with similar function.<ref name="article"> PMID:25038788</ref> The twister ribozyme appears to follow a SN2 mechanism for phosphodiester cleavage producing a 2',3'-cyclic phosphate and 5' hydroxyl product.<ref name="article"/> Twister ribozyme produces catalytic activity by orienting the P O bond that is to be cleaved for nucleophilic attack in the active site.

| - | The structure of twister ribozyme has a highly conserved secondary structure that includes a double pseudo knot with a core comprising of a stem loop interrupted by two internal loops. The cleavage site for the ribozyme is located within loop 1 and the <scene name='82/824632/Twister_ribozyme_active_site/3'>active site</scene> can be found at the center of the molecule. Active site formation of all nucleolytic ribozymes occurs through the interactions of secondary and tertiary structures. The double pseudo knot structure is formed by two long range tertiary interactions which are necessary for its catalytic function. | + | The structure of twister ribozyme has a highly conserved secondary structure that includes a double pseudo knot with a core comprising of a stem loop interrupted by two internal loops.<ref name="article"/> The cleavage site for the ribozyme is located within loop 1 and the <scene name='82/824632/Twister_ribozyme_active_site/3'>active site</scene> can be found at the center of the molecule.<ref name="article"/> Active site formation of all nucleolytic ribozymes occurs through the interactions of secondary and tertiary structures.
